My lecturers

During her ten-year tenure as a curator with the C/O Berlin Foundation, she managed to build an extensive international network of institutions, artists and experts. She has also developed and introduced several programme formats which explore the profound changes within photography since the onset of digitalisation and discuss questions about the future of the medium.

She now works as a duo with Annina Linggi on various graphic works. In their work they pursue context-oriented, experimental and flexible solutions. Pop culture and socio-political themes have a great visual and thematic influence on their work. This often leads to an intensive examination of typography and image and the exploration of visual habits of seeing. Their preferred disciplines are editorial design and the development of corporate identities.

His process-based practice relies on a close collaboration with artists, editors and printers, and often emphasizes the haptic qualities of print through the use of materials, hand-done treatments and specialized production. His design approach utilizes extensive visual and production research paired with image-led solutions and minimal typography.

With his installations, he is examining and probing prototyped model realities, contexts which are supposed to support our thinking and delineate fields where our mind may flow. He is interested in the field of visual thinking, searching for parallels and differences on the production and use of images in art and science.
